Fugu Max

Fugu Max is the cost-performance model in Sakana AI's Fugu family. Rather than a single monolithic model, Fugu is a learned multi-agent orchestration system: a language model trained to route tasks across a fixed pool of open-weights and specialized models, including NVIDIA's Nemotron family, and to recursively call instances of itself.

Fugu Max dynamically selects efficient combinations of expert agents to improve quality and cost together, and is priced flat regardless of context length. It supports configurable reasoning effort (high, xhigh, max), function calling, structured outputs, image and PDF input, and built-in web search and web fetch. Orchestration tokens consumed by the system are billed as standard input/output tokens.
